    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the Floor. I just wanted the Cabinet Secretary to clarify one issue flowing from his statement and answer this question; does the Government have a different policy approach towards compensation for Tana River County as opposed to other counties? I am speaking specifically to the Tana and Athi River Development Irrigation Project where the Government came and took even ancestral land and to date, the people have never been compensated. On one part, we are hearing that there is compensation, while on the other part, we are hearing that there is no compensation. Even when the Head of State himself came and said that it must be done to date, some people have not been compensated. So, can subdivision of that land be done, so that the land that does not belong to the people, we can do irrigation and the land that belongs to the people can be given to them? So, clarify to us, does the Government, in which you are serving, have a different policy for our area as opposed to other parts of the country, or is it the normal suppressing of areas that are far from the cities, that has been the colonial policy since independence? Thank you."
